Choosing Round Ductwork

Round ductwork is the easiest form of ductwork to use for a project of this nature. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also versatile. Our homes and businesses benefit greatly in a number of different ways when we are willing to install the correct ductwork. Round ductwork is best in these instances because of its durability. When we take the time to enlist a professional to properly install ductwork that is durable and easy to work with, we are guaranteeing a much longer lifespan for the ductwork and avoiding any number of short term difficulties.

Taping Techniques

Let’s say that we have decided that we are going to replace our existing ductwork with a newer model. We can save a sizable amount of time and effort by utilizing the tape that was already used to secure the previous ductwork. Instead of peeling off all of the old tape, we can score the seam of the original tape with a knife. From there, it is as simple as applying the new tape over the area where the new ductwork will be placed.

Knowing The Dangers of Flexible Duct

Flexible ducts may seem like a godsend to those who are trying to handle the project on their own, but in reality? It is far more likely to experience wear and tear over the course of time. Flexible ducts are also more likely to collect dust and this ductwork is essentially impossible to clean. While it may seem easier to install flexible ducts in the moment, there are a number of long term considerations that we need to be keeping in mind.

Don’t Be Shy About Caulk

Caulk is our best friend in these types of scenarios, especially when we are attempting a DIY job. When there are connections between the trunk line and the elbow that are in need of caulking, this is something that needs to be done as soon as possible. It is important that the caulking is done before the pipes are connected and not after.
